APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:4-13 Devotional:- “...for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye” (V. 8) AMPL      One of the most honourable and highly protected parts of our body is our eye. It is highly protected because of its importance and delicacy. The eye is the light of the body (Matthew 6:22, Luke 11:34). A man without sight is blocked without light. He will need to learn to see with the inner eye. Because of the importance of the eye, everyone takes time to wash it with all care and caution. When things are coming against it, wise people will always avoid it. When something little enters the eye, we become restless until it is removed. The truth is that you cannot allow anyone to touch your eye. It is a reflex action for you to close it at such times.

DANIEL’S CHOICE.

DANIEL’S CHOICE.      

Daniel 1:3-15 
Devotional:- “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” (Vs. 8)


    Daniel was one of the people that the king of Babylon captured from Judah. The king appointed for them a daily provision of meat and drink. One will think that it was compulsory for them to eat whatever was given to them without a choice. But because Daniel knew that the king’s meat and drink will defile him and make him unacceptable to God, he choose to refuse the king’s food. 

Daniel was not afraid of the consequence of the king’s wrath, if the king get to know that he refuses his own portion. His desire was to do God’s will every time, anywhere even in captivity. This choice later made Daniel to stand out among all others and God gave him favor and made him great (Daniel 1:20). 

When you take your stand for God, you are honoring God, and God will always promote and defend you. The Lord will protect you even in the midst of your enemies. He did it to Daniel. He will do it for you. Always take a stand for God and He will give you victory.

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to always stand for you.
